A positive thought I had this week : I've downloaded a meditation app and I feel like it's been helping me realize that I am happy most of the time. I can get so caught up in my anxiety that I forget that sometimes.
A healthy snack/meal I chose : I've been trying to incorporate vegetables that I normally don't eat so I've been using eggplant and beets in my meals these past couple weeks
My most effective workout this week was : I've been focusing on running lately but I've been making more of an effort to make sure I get some strength training in too.
I am never up this early but for some reason this morning I just felt lighter and I couldn't wait to get on the scale!6 -

A positive thought I had this week was: I’m looking at food much differently now. It’s just fuel
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: chips ahoy and mint chip ice cream — kidding! Walnuts and apples
My most effective workout this week was: I’ve been sick for 5 days so no exercise
Comments: (Please share any additional information if you'd like)[/quote]. Even though I’ve been eating comfort food because I’m sick, I’m eating smaller portions and thinking about the calories. My one real Yikes moment was looking at the amount of sodium in canned soups. 2225mg in a serving of Campbell’s Chicken Noodle. That’s an entire days worth in a cup and a half!

Apparently eating back some of my exercise calories was a good plan because 1.2lbs gone AND I'm at a brand new number! YAY
Finally went to an Ortho doctor for my hip pain that has been lingering since I injured myself jogging in September. He gave me a cortisone shot and I start PT tomorrow. Hopefully this is all I'll need in the future and not surgery.
I hope everyone has a GREAT week and remember to be nice to yourself, this is a long hard journey.

My positive thing this week is that I called today was able to get a Gastro appointment on Friday! I am amazed that I was able to get in the same week, especially being a new patient. It will be the first step in the (hopefully short) journey to feeling better. I am nervous for what they might find, and nervous there will be NO explanation, but most of all, I am just beyond ready to not feel like this anymore.

My positive thoughts this week were more like not negative thoughts. I am OK with my lack of progress because it's about even with my efforts haha.
My healthy snack was hard boiled eggs. I made some on my night off and they were perfect, I snacked on them for a few days (with bread and butter pickle chips;which I realize is not so healthy, but tastes awesome).
As for working out, sleep won this week..

A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: Water.
My most effective workout was: Strong Curves workout plus a mile run.
Comments: I’m having a tough time with work. I made a few business decisions that I regret. I didn’t believe in myself enough to take a risk and now, looking back, I should have taken the chance. My self esteem is feeling pretty low. I should try to channel this somehow into being better in other areas, like eating better food. Sorry to vent!0 -

When we come to a crossroads all we can do is make a decision and move on. We never really know if it is the better choice until we actually do it and see what happens. What’s important is where we go after making the decisions. Do some self reflecting and adapt to the changes. Think of the positives that it may bring and if you encounter a similar situation again how you will better handle it. You’re human. We don’t know the future so all we can do is give life the best we can offer.1 -
